on the news: if your NEWater has brownish or yellowish tinges, please call 1800-684-6600

so much for NEWater being safe and 'just like regular water' (with a slight touch of chlorine of course)

for those who don't reside in singapore, NEWater is the product of the government's newest innovations - purified water, by the reverse osmosis process. Put in layman terms, it merely means that waste water is being treated to drinkable conditions.

now, i emphasize the word, WASTE WATER.

WASTE in this sense is biological waste products, the stuff you flush down your toilets - humus and urea. The works.

right now i have a bottle of NEWater (empty, i have no idea wut my brother did with the contents, but i have a sneaking suspicion that he has poured it into the kettle for he had been threatening to pollute the water supplies in the attempt to make me drink that repulsive substance) standing in front of me, squat bottle and ugly label.

can you believe that the government actually gave out a few thousand samples to all the victimized spectators of the 2002 national day parade? and now they are bribing school kids with their very environmentally-friendly and practical children's day gift of a bottle of waste water.

can you really be that superficial?

anyways, the very fact that the water that was in the bottle could have been last month's soup really puts me off. i mean, i would definitely not drink any single drop of that filthy liquid (be it previously ingested by some superstar or not) if i do find out it is NEWater that they are trying to force-feed me. ARGH no way. Over my dead body (but let's not tempt fate)

now, back to the very first line. brownish and yellowish tinge.... does that remind you of something or what?

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW now take that NEWater of yours and go away!!!

stay away!!
